chapter titles /scene selections on blu-rays

I noticed in my Blu-ray cases the paper inserts do not list the title/chapter /Scene selections as fully named like the DVD paper inserts used to.
No not under special features Deleted Scenes.

First a paper insert including the Chapter titles. Who wrote these chapter titles anyway? the home video division?
As an example "Say Anything" (1989) dir. Cameron Crowe

1. Main Titles [1:41]

5. A Date [7:17]
6. A Songwriter [7:22]
7. The Keymaster [6:09]

9 out of the 20 Scene Selections

2nd
Chapter Thumbnail Menus are usually used to navigate to the scene. Some Blu-rays it is just a scroll bar like on "The Martian" Blu-ray.
Yes I understand with more movies being streamed on-demand that less people use Chapter Thumbnail Menus at all.

Have others noticed a lack of a paper insert including the Chapter titles included with the Blu-ray package? Do you also miss it?
Are there any that definitely include it on paper?
The Criterion Collection for the DVD of "Armeggedon" (1998) dir. Michael Bay did. I don't own any Criterion Collection blu-rays. Anyone can look?

Wouldn't the paper insert just repeat what's on the disc menu?

Re: chapter titles /scene selections on blu-rays

Chapter titles were an art in the heyday of laserdisc. I've noticed Kino Blu-Rays don't even have a chapter menu anymore, guess I should be glad they're chaptered at all- though when I transfer stuff from analog formats to DVD it often gets tiresome to figure out where to put them.

Both Armageddon and Deep Impact have a chapter called "Drawing straws."

I’ll try, but I generally suck at posting pictures here. They never come out in a usable size.
